The Sage mathematics software project (http://www.sagemath.org) aims to "Create a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica and Matlab."

This hands-on introduction to Sage will get new users solving their computational problems quickly. Emphasis will be placed on using Sage for current research and for using Sage in teaching calculus to undergraduate students.

We will use Sage on the web (http://www.sagenb.org); please bring your laptop if you have one.

Strong Solutions to a Navier-Stokes-Lame Fluid-Structure Interaction System

In this talk, I consider the existence of local-in-time strong solutions to a well established coupled system of partial differential equations arising in Fluid-Structure interactions. The system consisting of an incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and an elasticity equation with velocity and stress matching boundary conditions at the interface in between the two domains where each of the two equations is defined. I discuss new existence results for a range of regularity in the initial data and the differences in the exsitence results when domains with non-flat boundaries are considered.
